With the closeness that characterizes the Cuban influencer Flor de Cuba, the young woman responded sincerely in a recent Q&A session on her Instagram stories, where one of her followers wanted to know her opinion on the desperation of young Cubans to emigrate from the country.
In her response, the Cuban content creator expressed that one of the greatest harms caused by the Cuban political system in people is the belief that the government is responsible for fulfilling all their basic needs.
"This is going to generate controversy. But I believe that the worst damage our political system has done to people is making them believe that a government is responsible for: what you eat, the house you live in, the money that comes in," said Flor de Cuba.
According to her, Cubans should take responsibility for their own achievements and well-being. "I think it's good that they go out, so they realize that the only person responsible for fixing your house is you, providing the food you like is you, getting the money you need is you," she added.
The influencer noted that waiting for the state to address the needs of citizens is "harmful for personal growth and as a society."
Another question the young Cuban was asked was whether it offends her to be compared to the cartoon character Fiona from the movie Shrek.
"As a public figure, I understand that it's normal for comparisons and mockery to be made about me. Striving for physical perfection is not only overwhelming but also destructive for us. I am clear about my flaws and virtues and work hard on them," she stated, making it clear that it does not bother her.
Flor de Cuba is currently on the island after recently visiting Miami. Getaways to the United States will be frequent in the coming years after being granted a five-year tourist visa, which allows her to enter and exit the country whenever she wants.
